TUESDAY
GILBERT ISLANDERS AT THE PALACE.

The Gilbert Islanders who have served
out their term of contract service have
come to town in the hope of being re-
turned to their native islands. These
poor people having received assurances
that the Government would see
to their return home, they went
in body to the Palace yester-
day afternoon in order to pay their
respects to the King. They were &C
cOmpanied by the Rev. Mr.. Mahoe, for
some time Hawaiian missionary in the
Gilbert group, and he acted as inter-
prefer on this occasion. These islanders
numbered 56 men, Is women and 9
children-in all SO persons. They were
clad in their best, and marched in an or
derly manner, two by two, into the YES
tibule of the Palace. There they formed
into a square and sat down on
the floor. His Majesty then spoke to
them through the interpreter Mahoe,
and expressed his satisfaction at seeing
in his Palace so many of the people of
Apemama, of Apaiang, Of Tarawa and
other islands, and wished them to bear
kindly message of goodwill from him to
their chiefs and the people at their
homes. Afterwards they were invited to
march into the Throne room, and as it
was now getting dusk the spacious hall
was quite obscure, not being lighted up
Again the people formed themselves into
a square, and whilst they stood
looking around them in wonder
ment at the dimly seen objects
of the hall, this noble chamber was sud-
denly Illuminated by an electric flash
and glorious blaze of light radiated
from the seventy-two burners in the su-
perb new glass chandeliers. The simple !
Gilbert Islanders after an exclamation of |
surprise now stared around them with an |

then caused to be interpreted to them
the uses of this grand hall, being the |
place where His Majesty, surrounded by |
his Ministers, Mobiles and councillors, !
met in state the representatives of for
elgn nations and other distinguished |
persons. Afterwards the Islanders were
marshaled into the banqueting hall, and
thence through the blue room back into
the vestibule, where His Majesty again
spoke kind and encouraging words and
wished them safe return to their ma
tive homes. The Islanders then with
drew, marched down the Palace steps
and formed in semi-circie in the
grounds, where they cheered His Maj
ssty Justify several times, and the poor
people went back rejoicing to their
quarters at the immigration Depot.

CANARDS.

The town is constantly stirred with
some canard or false rumor, and we
have lot of persistent street gossips
who help to maintain the circulation of a
false report. There is no doubt of there
being deliberate invention in the most
OF cases, as, for instance, the story cir
culated by a contemporary that Mr.
Gibson was preparing to leave the coun-
try by the next steamer is sheer in
vention, and put in circulation pur-
posely. Such also is the story of his
large balance with his bankers, and of
shipments to the Coast of large sums on
his account. These are lies concocted
deliberately for a purpose. Again, the
street is rife with stories of projected
movements of mischievous character.
Ii the intelligent stranger visiting our
shores could be led to believe one-balf
that IS circulated, he must carry awav
with him the conviction that we have
IN our community bands of assassins of
the most infamous and cowardly charac-
ter. He will hear stories circulated
ABOUT midnight assaults upon officers of !
the Government, and determination to |
provoke riot, pillage and every form of
destruction. The intelligent stranger, in
looking around him and noticing the
evidences Of widespread prosperity, a
busy port, an improving city, and all
the marks and signs of a
growing country, without any YES
tige of distress, pauperism, or
wrongful interference with public well
lare, may well wonder that there should
be SO much rant of seditious charac-
Ter. But let not the intelligent stranger
be too much impressed with these
;anards. They are, as we have said,
nearly all baseless fabrications, gotten
Up to promote the political ends of de-
igning men.
